Hockey anyone?

I married a Hockey fan.  It stems from Alton serving his mission in Canada.  He got hooked.  He even went to a game with the mission president.  

One of our first dates was to a Utah Grizzlies hockey game and ever since then we try to go back and see a couple of games a year.  Alton would like to go more, but I can only handle a few games a year.  I just don't get hockey.  He makes fun of me because I'm watching people or the mascot more then I'm watching the game.  Most people get snacks and a bathroom break during intermission, not me, I get snacks and my bathroom break during the game so I don't miss the entertainment during the intermission.  It's my favorite part.  

Last night was opening night at the E Center.  We went for our Friday night date.  He said the game was good, the Grizzlies won 7-3, and I thought the intermissions were great.  They even brought out two pianos onto the ice and had dueling pianos.  Now that's more my style.  I am glad the Grizzlies won.  It makes for a happy husband.  

I took this picture of us myself.  Can you tell?  It didn't turn out very well, but it was the best of the 12 that I took.  

There was lots of fighting.  Alton says fighting is the best part of the game.  

I got Grizzbee to strike a pose for me.  Isn't he handsome in his tuxedo?

I had to take a picture of this grandma and grandpa because they make me laugh.  They are season ticket holders and are in the same seats year after year.  Every time I look over, one if not both of them are asleep.  They must really love hockey! 

This is what they do during intermission.  They pull out their books and magazines.  It cracks me up!

Cornbelly's

Today I went to Cornbelly's with my nieces Libby and Ruth, and also my wonderful sister in law Natalee.  Libby is my niece on my side of the family and Ruth is my niece on the Garrett side. Libby and Ruth get along really well, and we just pretend they are cousins.  We had a great time!  

We went through the corn maze.  We only went in a circle a couple of times (ok, maybe more then a couple of times), and finally after being list for a while, we made it to the exit. 

We didn't have to worry about getting hungry.  There was plenty of corn. 

We played in the castle.

We rode the cow train.

We went on a hayride.

We tried to rope a cow.

We took funny pictures.

Thanks Natalee and Ruth for the invite and a fun day!

Coed softball

Pictured:  Front Row L to R:  Dave Einerson, Me, Monica Jense, Mckell Richins, Keely Lassen,  Back Row L to R:  Jill Einerson, Jason Jense, Lance Hansen, Trevor Richins, Dallin Price (he dove for a ball 2 weeks ago and broke his collarbone, hence the reason he's not in softball attire.)

For the 2nd year in a row I have played coed softball.  This is our team.  We have a lot of fun and even better is the fact that all of us but two are related.  It's a big family affair!  This year we took 2nd place in the regular season and made it to the final four in the tournament. Thanks everyone for a fun season!  I'm already looking forward to next year!  

This is Grandpa Peay arriving at tonight's game.  Notice the radio on his head, he couldn't miss the BYU game!!  

Grandma and Grandpa Peay are such good sports to come every week and watch us.  Even when it's freezing outside, they will be there in their coats and earmuffs, with a bag of treats for all the little kids.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Me and my camera

For those of you who know me very well, I seem to always have a camera with me.  It's been a hobby of mine for years and i'm always taking candid shots of everyone.  Last week, my sister in law Alisha, talked me into taking their family photos.  Tonight was our big photo shoot.  Here are some of the pictures.

North Carolina

This is Pine Needles Golf Club in Southern Pines, North Carolina.  Last year I went to a 4 day golf school.  This course caters to women golfers and our instructor is a member of the LPGA.   I had so much fun and learned so much that I am going back again in a few weeks.  I can hardly wait!!

Custom Countdowns & MySpace Layouts

My two favorite girls...

These are my two favorite girls in the whole world!  They are my nieces Liberty and London.  Once a week they come and spend time at my house while their mom goes to work.  Yesterday morning was one of those days.  We play, dance, sing, and have a good ole time. 

Liberty is shy (most of the time) and is very good at entertaining herself.  Yesterday she sat on the floor and colored a whole coloring book (2 hours worth) and then put on my ipod and danced around the house for another hour before settling on the couch to watch Dora.  

London is a little character (I think she is going to be just like me, if I have a say).  I've learned with London, you can't turn your back on her for very long.  A few months ago she was at my house and I couldn't find her.  She usually is hiding in my walk in closet.  As I turned the corner into my bathroom, there was London on the floor with my makeup.  Oh was she pretty!  I took a picture but now I can't find it.  She had lipstick from her chin to the top of her head.  

Yesterday was another one of those "don't turn your back to long" days.  She was sitting on the floor putting some clothes on a doll, and I walked in the other room to grab something.  As I walked back into the family room I could hear a weird noise in the entryway.  As I turned the corner, there was London with a red crayon going to town on my wall.  I immediately yelled "London, don't do that"  she dropped the crayon and looked at me with these huge eyes and ran over to me, grabbed my leg in a huge hug, looked up and said "I ub ew Tim"  (translation - I love you, Kim)  How can you be mad after that??  I picked her up and gave her a hug and thanks to magic eraser the crayon is no more.  

I love these girls!!!

  

 

I've cracked...

I said I would never do a blog!  Yet, here I am.   I've cracked.  I figured my life was to boring for a blog but maybe it's not.  Stay tuned for more posts of the Garrett's adventures......
